My grandfather and my high school science teacher both taught in youth "detention centres" for periods in their career. They both said students there were better behaved than regular schools. For the "inmates" (for lack of better term), school was a privilege and if they misbehaved, they couldn't attend. School was a good break from your cell/room.
- bluefirebrand 6y agoKind of funny that kids (and adults) often have a mentality that school is/was a prison, something they were sent to against their will. When people are in prison and school becomes something that can be taken away, it looks more like a privilege. Human brains are weird.

- guerrilla 6y ago> Human brains are weird. I don't think it's that weird: it just means that the judgement is relative.
- watwut 6y agoHonestly, I have seen that mentality on HN a lot, but not much outside on real life. I think HN has strong bias here - and partially ideological bias, surprisingly often they want everyone to home school.
